Road conditions Gary Junction road.

We did that route in the reverse direction (from Alice) this time last year, current model BT50s towing Kimberley Karavans. It was fine then - just some rough patches. If you've done the Gunbarrel you know what to expect. Drive to conditions and you'll be ok.

We have driven it a couple of times, the most recent in 2008 towing a boat.
It is an easy drive and a much, much better road than the Gunbarrel.
Good scenery, friendly communities and plenty of fuel.
You will not be alone with a caravan out there these days.

We had a couple of laps on Gary Junction in June, 2018.

Came up Gary Highway to Gary Junction & overnighted at Well 33, before fuelling up at Kunawaritji, and travelling west to Telfer Mine, then down to Desert Queen Baths. Later in that month, we were heading east from Marble Bar via Carrawine Gorge & Running Waters, camped at 33 again, refuelled again at the community, and travelled through to Sandy Blight Junction where we headed south. Had dinner at Jupiter Well, then camped near Mt Webb.

Road conditions varied from excellent past Jupiter Well, soft sandy sections further East and rougher sections back near Telfer, all mixed in with occasional corrugated sections. We saw a number of vans through our journey on the road, & not all of them motoring sedately. It’s a top drive, with lots to see & emphasises how big WA is!

Was going to post a couple of photos but somewhere in the system is working union hours?

We travelled this way only in the past couple of weeks and the road was in pretty good nick. There was a grader doing a bit of work along the western end and while the road wasn’t busy, we saw a couple of caravans heading west while we were heading east. There’s also a couple of sandy sections but nothing too serious.

Drove from the Alice end as far as Sandy Blight Junction Rd last Tuesday and it was heavily corrugated. Very glad we weren't towing. Very little traffic.
